"Carly Thomas could read burn patterns before she knew the alphabet. A third-generation forest fire specialist who lost both her father and her fiancé to the flames, she's learned to live life like she fights fires: with emotions shut down. But [former smokejumper Steve 'Merks' Mercer's] lit an inferno she can't quench"--P. [4] of cover.

If you can get past the fact that the book is really about fighting forest fires and the tools teams use (particularly helicopters), it's quite interesting. The author does an excellent job of making the developing romance between the two main characters steamy without describing a thing, and it is straightforward and without the cheesy humor that can sometimes accompany contemporary-set romances. It's a solid contemporary that will appeal to readers who like military and other hero-based romances.
